Not only did their deities care for the living but also the dead. Similar to the Egyptians, they also worshipped the sun. The chief Inca represented the sun, and the first emperor of the Incas was said to be the offspring of the god of the sun.
The Inca Empire was shrouded in misunderstanding and mystery; the way it worked was/is so dissimilar to what most Western societies would consider basic societal, organizational, or religious foundations for a governing body or empire, that when it was first seen by European (specifically Spanish) eyes, it was completely alien and incomprehensible. The Inca Empire had no “economy” as we know it, they had no concept of “money” as a stand in for physical goods, instead they traded and bartered for those physical goods directly. While, the plebeians did get taxed (and were taxed extremely efficiently), they were taxed what they made, ex. Potatoes, corn, labour, wool and cloth from alpacas and llamas etc (examples pictured to the left and right).
Farming and hunting Inca farmers grew a variety of crops. For example: potatoes, corn, tomatoes, avocados, peppers, strawberries, peanuts, cashews, squash, beans, pineapples, chocolate, and many other crops. When the Incas fished they would hoped to catch anchovies, sardines, tuna, salmon, sea bass, and shellfish. They farmed with simple tools such as a hoe.
Peru is a beautiful country rich in history, growing up I visited Peru during the summer and being that I am half Peruvian I have a basic knowledge of who my ancestors were. I was always fascinated by the Inca culture and history, I even visited Machu Picchu when I was sixteen years old. Like many people I wanted to see the ruins, which was once named the “Golden City”, and I wanted to hear the myths and tales I was told as a child by my grandparents.

Because of the Inca’s large conquests, this language eventually became the dominant one and is still spoken to the day by a huge fraction of Peru’s population. Although the Inca inhabitants couldn’t write, they used quipus, threads with a arrangement of knots attached to them, to record their harvest. The current descendants of the
The Inca Civilization had one of the most unique forms of language and communication. Since they lacked a form of written language, they developed a form of communication known as quipu. Quipu consisted of different colored cords that were tied into knots, and was used to document and record information as well as to send messages. One of the reasons why we have this information from over five centuries ago is because the Incas documented information about the empire very efficiently using quipu. However; only a little can be gathered from this since we have very little knowledge of how to understand quipu, and since the Spanish destroyed a great amount of these historical documentations.
